Ordering information, terms and conditions of a Pollard Custom Trumpet

Ordering

The process for placing a firm order is as follows-

- specifications and price are agreed by email, letter or personal communication;

 - the customer pays a minimum deposit of 50%*;

- a written quote is sent to the customer, guaranteeing the price until delivery;

 - balance of payment is due on completion and before shipping.

 A position on the waiting list is only guaranteed, and the price is only guaranteed, once a firm order has been made.

* In exceptional circumstances (such as a unique instrument requiring extensive financial outlay during construction, or a customer who has broken a previous purchase agreement), a larger deposit, perhaps up to full payment, may be required.

 Trial of instruments

Instruments may be tried in person-

  – on a personal visit to the maker;

- on visits by the maker to other cities and countries . Instruments are not currently sold through retailers.

It is not normally practical to send instruments to prospective customers for trial, and instruments are not available for rental.

 Prices and payment

 Prices are quoted, and payments are to be made, in £ Sterling . It is not possible to guarantee prices in any other currency. The prices do not include shipping, taxes, duties or Customs fees. A non-binding estimate of shipping costs will be made at the time of receiving a firm order. Unless protected by a written quote for a firm order, prices are subject to change. Payment is requested by electronic bank transfer (account details will be supplied when a quotation is mailed), by international money order, postal order or bank draft, . No discounts are offered, either for multiple instrument orders by one customer, or based on a customer’s professional status.

 Delivery

 Delivery time varies according to the instrument and the time of year, and is discussed in conjunction with a specific order.

  Warranty

 Warranty is limited to defects mutually agreed and readily apparent at the time of purchase, and is for a period of one year from delivery. . The maker will not be financially responsible for repairs or adjustments made by other technicians.

 While instruments will be tuned and voiced as accurately as possible, it is understood that

(1) unavoidable compromises in wind instrument design make perfect intonation on every single note impossible to achieve, and

(2) variations in mouthpieces, playing technique and local conditions may result in differences in performance when the same instrument is played by the customer and by the maker. It is understood that while a custom instrument maker will exert his/her maximum efforts to supply instruments which satisfy customers’ requirements and which are equal or superior to those offered by major manufacturers at similar prices, no guarantee can be made of absolute perfection.

 Cancellation

 If an order is cancelled by the customer before construction work is begun, up to 10% of the total price may be retained from the deposit to cover time spent on administration and communication.

 If an order is cancelled by the customer after significant construction has started, up to the entire deposit may be retained. In each of the above cases, currency exchange fees and other banking fees will be deducted from the refund.

If an order is cancelled by the maker (which would only be due to unavoidable practical reasons), the full deposit will be returned to the customer.

 If a customer wishes to return an instrument after delivery and after payment in full, there is no guarantee that this will be possible. If the return is accepted, a refund will only be made after the instrument has been sold to another customer, and the refund will be limited to the price paid by the new customer, minus all expenses incurred.

Placement of a firm order and payment of a deposit implies full acceptance of all of these terms and conditions.

Pollard Custom Trumpets Available In Alicante.Spain from Francisco Perez

Francisco Pérez

Francisco A. Pérez-Ferrer was born in Alicante, 1.976.

At 16 I become a member of the Youth National Orchestra from Spain, and also obtained my Professor Diploma (At 16 years old!!!). I played with many orchestras such as Fine Arts Sinfonia (London, U.K.) and I was Principal at Alicante Symphony Orchestra (1.996-2.000). Also I was enganged by Universal Studios as trumpet player for some gigs and recordings with some Dixie bands and with Big Bands (it was an amazing experience).

I tryed to go out of Spain to play in other orchestras and I gained the principal position in Sinaloa State  Symphony (Mexico), but at the same time I was invited to make an audition to Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester and also at Chicago Symphony Orchestra -Principal Position- in 2.003 and 2.004.

There is one thing I want to say: in 1.993 I was playing the audition for the Young National Orchestra of Spain in Madrid. That night a wonderfull thing happened: Chicago Symphony was playing at the same auditorium I was playing few hours before. I heard the concert and also I met Adolph “Bud” Herseth. I thought he is a very charismatic trumpet player, but a really nice guy. The first time I was invited to auditioning at C.S.O. I felt that one era was finished. After I experienced some trouble with my teeth and I prefered to start another career making trumpets, wich was my hobby at that time.

I ever admired good hand work. Talking about modern trumpets I loved the works of Domenic Calicchio, Jerome Callet, Eldon Benge, Zignant Kanstul, Karl Schagerl, Johann Scherzer and, of course, Renold Schilke, among others. All those make the best trumpets I ever played, but I was more interested in making replicas of historical instruments. I like to work as they did 400 years ago.

I ever loved historic instruments so, then I thought, Why not to try to make natural trumpets? Then I made a lot of prototypes, studied old making methods, asked to the best makers. Some of them were kind and they helped me to make good trumpets.

That’s all my history. Now I have a little workshop in my house and I work as they did 400 years ago, with the same tools and also with the same feel of satisfaction when a trumpet is finishedA
